GAUGES
It is not necessary to remove instrument clus-
ter assembly from vehicle for gauge replace-
ment. When removing gauge assemblies from cluster,
gauge must be pulled straight out, not twisted, or
damage to gauge pin may result.
MULTIPLE GAUGE MALFUNCTION
If the fuel, voltage and tachometer gauges appear
to be malfunctioning, remove the cluster assembly.
Check for good pin contact between the wire harness
and printed circuit board. If there is good contact,
check for ignition voltage at ignition cavity C of the
black connector. If there is ignition voltage, check for
continuity between the wire harness ground cavity H
of the black connector and ground. If there is conti-
nuity, replace printed circuit board. If the temperature, oil pressure and speedometer
gauges appear to be malfunctioning remove the clus-
ter assembly. Check for a good contact between the
wire harness and the printed circuit board. If there is
good contact, check for ignition voltage at cavity J of
the red connector. If there is voltage, check for con- tinuity at cavity H of the black connector. If there is
continuity, replace the printed circuit board.
If the temperature, fuel, voltage and speedometer
gauges appear to be malfunctioning, remove the clus-

GAUGES
It is not necessary to remove instrument cluster
from vehicle for gauge replacement. When removing

straight out, not twisted, or damage to gauge pins
may result.
MULTIPLE GAUGE MALFUNCTION
If all the instrument cluster gauges appear to be
malfunctioning, remove the cluster assembly.
² Check for good pin contact
² Check for ignition voltage between the IGN cavity
D and ground.
² If there is ignition voltage
² Check for continuity between the wire harness
ground cavity G and ground.
² If there is continuity, replace the print circuit
board (Fig. 16).
GAUGE INOPERATIVE (FIG. 17 THROUGH 20)
(1) Remove gauge in question.

circuit test for proper pin. (a) If no voltage or ground at gauge pins. Check
cavity D red cluster connector for ignition voltage
or cavity G for ground. (b) If no voltage or ground, repair as necessary.
